## What it is
OpenClaude is an open-source terminal-based coding agent CLI that reads and edits files, runs shell commands, searches codebases, and talks to MCP servers. It is model-neutral, supporting 40+ providers including OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, Ollama, GitHub Models, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with switchable profiles mid-session.

## Use cases
- run an AI coding agent in the terminal with any LLM provider
- use a Claude Code-like agent with local Ollama models
- automate code edits and test runs from scripts with --print and JSON output
- switch between OpenAI, Gemini, and Grok without changing workflow
- review AI-generated diffs before committing changes
- wire MCP servers and skills into a coding agent loop
- resume and branch agent sessions across devices

## When to choose
- you want a terminal-first coding agent not tied to one model vendor
- you need local models via Ollama or LM Studio alongside cloud providers
- you want scriptable, non-interactive agent runs in CI with JSON output
- you value reviewable diffs, rewind, and permission-gated tool use

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or IDE-first experience rather than a terminal workflow
- you require a permissively licensed dependency and strict license clarity (license is NOASSERTION)
- you only need a simple chatbot without file editing or shell execution
